Having just upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid, I have arrived at this
"cannot do 'gksu gnome-terminal'" bug.  How did this happen?  What
change was made Intrepid -> Jaunty that broke this oft used (even if
some people consider it the wrong thing to do) feature?  I really am not
looking for workarounds, I am looking for this not to have been broken
in the first place.

This problem has clearly been known about since the beginning of this
year and still Jaunty was released with the bug for us unsuspecting
people to get hit by.

This really does need to be considered as a security bug and fixed asap:
the whole point of using this idiom is that it requires the password and
it gives a new type of terminal so that it can be coloured differently
from other terminals to show it is a dangerous terminal.
